Hi, I've been using a registrated version of Net Reactor 6.

Now I've manage to automate my software deployment routines to Azure DevOps pipelines, but I can't get the Net Reactor to recognize my license file. My resultant assemblies show trial message from Net Reactor.

I tried to reach the support to get an special license to use in the pipeline environment, but I didn't get any response from Eziriz.

Does someone out there had succesfully activated the license in Azure DevOps pipelines?

I am quite concerned too because I didn't get any answers from support since Aug 3...

Hi,

You should activate the license when logged in with the user that is running the pipeline.
The activation is per user, not per machine.

Hi Oleg,

Can you describe more in detail how to activate Net Reactor by user?

I did'n find anywere showing that is possible to activate the license by user.

All I received was license.license file which seems to only work after I manually activate Net Reactor in a machine and then send it back to Eziriz with my hardware id, and then finally get the actual license file for my hardware id.

I kept trying to reach them by the support email and by their phone number, and never got any reply.

Does anyone was able to get a response from Eziriz recntly?

To add more context to my use case:

I'm using Azure DevOps pipelines in Microsoft's hosted environment, within their virtual machines.

It seems impossible to actvivater Eziriz default license based on hardware id in this enviroment. But their marketing says the opposite:

Hi,

You should login to the PC on which the pipeline runs with the same user that runs the pipeline and do the same activation process you did for your account.

Hi Oleg,

There is no PC which I have access involved in this process, it's a VM hosted by Microsoft in their cloud environment for DevOps, and it is dinamically created/allocated.

So it's not a machine with a fixed hardware id, and I have no control over it, there is no explicit login to the machine also.

This is the VM used in this pipeline:
pool:
  vmImage: 'windows-2019'

This is where the license should be read (I tried everything here, even purchased a new license to use the last version of Net Reactor, which was a mistake I made)
- task: DotNetReactorTool@0
  displayName: Activate License for NetReactor
  inputs:
    version: '6.9.0.0'
    license: 'hMXw6GpxGVj87v6RLKLYmm7kMOs6rNfDqNWkh4mbRqYsMs70uemeQEVQZ1V7hoTGp.....'
    #license: '$(Build.SourcesDirectory)/Setup/NetReactor/license.license'

No luck, I gave up contacting Eziriz and I'm evaluating others solutions to obfuscate our software via the cloud hosted pipelines (Azure DevOps).

they just believe in selling the license (Product), on the support they get         -10000000000000000000%

We have sent many emails, but no response at all. We feel like we are cheated.
